Inspired by Katie Chatfield’s recent post on Get Shouty, I put Maloney on Marketing into Wordle to check out what words I have been using the most, as repetition is a key marketing (and Google!) principle. Here is what it spat out,

Made to Stick – Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath and Dan Heath is a book that I had been meaning to read for a while, as it is promoted as a great supplement to one of my favourite books of all time: The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.

The book revolves around six key qualities of an idea that is made to stick, conveniently creating the acronym SUCCESs.

Last year as part of my Masters degree, I wrote a paper on why iPhone adoption will be faster in Australia than the US. Key to this claim was diffusion of innovation theory, to which I introduced a new concept titled The Newton Ball Diffusion Acceleration Effect.
In the year since developing this concept, I have been responsible for several new product launches, that have all been successful way beyond expectations due to another theory that I have developed on how to accelerate diffusion of innovation.

I am now ready to share this secret with you, it is called Accelerating Diffusion of Innovation: Maloney’s 16% Rule.
